Thanks for the reply. I'm still in a quandary. I have installed
.deb packages for iptables and ipmasq. I believe I have enabled
the appropriate kernel options (there seem to be many more options
in the 2.4 series kernel). I regret to say that I am ignorant of
the intricacies of the iptables package, and don't have documentation
to read. Is anyone willing to summarize the minimum kernel options
I must enable to provide ipmasq over a ppp dial-up connection? I'm
stuck and still using my old 2.2 kernel.
Thanks much,
Russ
